Why cant vampires drink other vampires blood?

Answer 1

A vampire can survive for a long long time without any nourishment at all. Some vampires have been buried for close to a century before they were disentured and became active. However they are not happy being so deprived, get right freaky in fact. Their physical and mental healthy deteriorates as well, to the point of sever neurosis and rotting. Eventually a deprived vampire will die, so the answer is 'yes' but only after a long long time.

EDIT- Well, if you are talking about Twilight vamps- If they don't get blood than their instinct takes over and attacks the closest thing with a heartbeat. So they can't really die from lack of blood because it's not possible for them to get to that point.

EDIT: It depends on the lore. Starving vampires can have whatever negative repercussions or benefits assigned. In Skyrim, for example, starving vampires grow stronger, but appear less human and will be recognized as monsters. In the Vampire Diaries, vampires desiccate, which causes them pain, renders them helpless, and will eventually mummify them unless they are fed, however, they don't die. In Buffy, vampires possibly become living skeletons. It seems that this didn't mean animated skeletons, but instead, extremely starved creatures, like a Holocaust victim, but worse. Starving vampires are weaker and hallucinate. Again, they don't die. In Vampire the Masquerade, vampires will be forced into Torpor, that is to say, they will basically hibernate until enough time has passed and they have "healed." I'm not familiar with any lore that says starving a vampire can kill it to be honest. In most cases it renders them powerless and may render them inactive. Most real vampire lore paints them as blood sucking phantoms rather than tangible. They usually astral project or something of that nature. There isn't any solid lore on starving, because a vampire can't really be stopped from feeding unless killed or incapacitated by other means. I suppose if they accidently wiped out the entire village they may starve, but at that point, it becomes a case of, if a tree falls in the forest, and no one is around to hear it, does it make a sound? If a vampire is starving, we'd have no way of knowing, because the only way it could starve is if everyone were dead.

Answer 2

Vampires cannot drink other vampires' blood because it does not sustain their need for life force or energy. Vampire blood lacks the vital life force that is found in human blood, making it ineffective for nourishing or sustaining a vampire's existence. Additionally, consuming vampire blood can sometimes have adverse effects or consequences on a vampire's body or powers.

Answer 3

Answer 4

Understand that both vampires and werewolves are mythological creatures of fiction. In recent years, both have become popular topics for movies and television shows. In at least one of these franchises, Underworld, the idea of vampire/werewolf hybrid has been explored.

One potential reason that story writers have not done this more could be that the contagion that is said to have created werewolves works on living bodies. When the host body dies so does the werewolf condition. By contrast, a vampire is a dead body re-animated therefore the werewolf contagion would have no effect.

Its a bit of an oxymoron to talk about vampires dying, the term doesn't really apply. The undead cannot die.

Answer 5

Basically, vampires need US to survive. We are their daily bread and wine.

In twilight, the good vampires with golden yellow eyes are the good guys, which they drink the blood of an animal. The Vampires with the bloodred eyes, are the human blood drinkers.

So, vampires need BLOOD to survive!!!!!!

You better check over your backside, to see whos behind you in the darkset of nights. !!!

Answer 6

you turn into a vampire

Their insatiable hunger is satisfied for a time and they become less cranky, quite sociable and amenable for a while. I quite like vampires after they have been well fed.

Very amusing! The Horror-flick type of vampire does not exist of course, but if you think about it, ticks, mosquitoes, fleas and leeches are vampires. With these, the risk is not the tiny blood loss but of infection by pathogens carried in the animal's saliva.

Answer 7

God creams his pants or Bella falls over dead.......

Answer 8

There's nothing specifically preventing a vampire from drinking another vampire's blood, but it would likely be dangerous, as the donor could die if too much blood was lost.

Answer 9

The vampire doesn't die from drinking the blood of a werewolf, but it transforms into a vampire-werewolf hybrid (see "Can a werewolf die if it's bitten by a vampire?").

Answer 10

No just turn into a werewolf. if I was a werewolf i would never let it drink my blood
